Coinciding with how it generates statistics and player performance. As discussed in another thread currently active, potential ratings predict performance outcome and current stats. It's called emulation. Very often people posting in these forums demonstrate they are playing a very different game than the one installed on their hard drive.

Clearly true in things like discussions on how to break players out of a slump when its not clear slumps are anything more than random. (One dev said they exist. Another said they exist only when psychology is on.)
